Hello, @donnanchris !

The frog calling in your audio is the Tusked Frog (Adelotus brevis). Yep, tusked! The species has 'tusks' on their lower jaw, and males use them to battle over breeding sites!

A native frog species, and the only species of it's genus!

G'day, @MVM ,

This appears to be a Eastern Crevice-Skink (Egernia mcpheei). They are usually in rocky areas of higher elevation, but very occasionally (in your part of the world), they are found a little lower down. Nice find!

Hi @Butlinz good work thanks heaps. It's totally up to you, but if you post more sightings of any interesting species over time, it'll help build up a better picture of when they are active and their abundance over time etc.

Thanks Aaron. I have deleted the goanna sighting and labelled the sighting Land Mullet which is great. I have seen a couple rush off into he undergrowth and now I know what they are. Should I post all sightings even if they are of the same species? eg monitors, wallabies

This is awesome @Butlinz !!! Thanks so much for this awesome contribution.

Do you mind splitting this into 2 separate sightings - one for the land mullet and the other for the goanna, so they can be identified as separate records. We're planning to make this a bit easier next year by introducing a new "duplicate" button, which will copy the sighting into a clone for you so it will take a fraction of the time that it currently does.
